Default Re: Question: Does the design last?

I have t-shirts that have heat pressed designs on them that have lasted years (at least 4 years).

With a quality paper and a quality press, a heat transfer can last a long time.

The quality isn't the same as screen printing (two different processes), however, you can get screen printed heat transfers (called plastisol transfers) which will give you a similar quality to screen printing).

I think inkjet printed heat transfers tend to fade more quickly than screen printed shirts.
